Abstract
Four patients had ocular or ocular adnexal injuries, which resulted from store merchandise display hooks. Ocular and periocular injuries from display hooks include conjunctival, eyelid, and canalicular lacerations, as well as penetrating brain injury. Display hooks are commonly used in retail establishments and pose a high risk when placed below eye level.
